ABSTRACT
Central venous catheters are sited for a variety of reasons in the adult critically ill patient. There is clear guidance for indications and maintenance of central venous catheters, but there is no clear guidance on how long a central venous catheter should remain in situ. This article looks at evidence to answer this question.
